hosed my back up earlier in the week trying some new fangled deadlift bar, turns out i should have started with lower weight who could have guessed. back was feeling good this weekend and the snows gone and the weathers nice again so got the first trail run in for the season today goal is to do a half marathon in fall here's hoping i dont gently caress it up biking again

Juul-Whip posted:ran 19.5km last night. ready for my half marathon nice!! Eeyo posted:thanks i’ll check him out. they have good reviews on good reads which is kinda hard to get sometimes. I don't really know all the history of the dude or anything but he is russian and a well known fitness personality. i think his schtick in late 90s was leaning heavily into the 80s/post-80s view of the macho russian soldier or whatever. I think he got famous for either inventing the kettle bell or just otherwise promoting it hard, so all his stuff lends itself really well to the home/travel gym lifestyle. I was doing simple n sinister during covid then had a kid and it all went to poo poo. Mr. Crow fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Apr 17, 2023 |

pro-tip for grip strength esp. if youre already doing deadlifts, on your last rep + set just hold the weight as long as you can. also the ol rear end in a top hat weight on a string exercise

Geebs posted:Update on my squat situation from a bit ago, constant hamstring stretching has been a great success but I ended up pulling a hip abductor anyways (ugh). So now I've been doing a bunch of exercises focused on that and I'm finally feeling like I'm getting to the point where I might be flexible enough to squat properly without hurting my drat knees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSSDLDhbacc This routine did work for me, I still do it

akadajet posted:I squarted 275lbs today for 5 im currently neglecting my lifts in the vain attempt to do another half marathon like a did 12? years ago, im fat and need to lose weight so seems like a good option also mixed grip is fine sorry for the goon that tore something but i dont think thats normal. seconding the other goons suggestion to rotate every set your under hand

akadajet posted:yeah. if I struggle to drop weight I'll go ask my doctor about it. I'd be wanting to go from 200 to 170 at 5'10" height same except 210 to 180... gonna try low carbing and cutting alcohol and limiting eating out, last two have been difficult with 16 month old, i keep making excuses like "its fine the child is exhausting its just while shes still young" but its clearly not i love my child but good god she is so much work also i did 205x9 squats the other day which aint much but i think it was a PR or closest ive been to a PR in almost a decade so i felt good about that

ADINSX posted:Give fresh and lean a try, I dropped about 10 pounds of fat just from eating out less. It’s not as cheap as cooking at home and the meals aren’t fantastic but it’s healthy and easy and cheaper than eating out this actually looks exactly like what ive also been searching for i hate hello fresh and the like because it feels super wasteful and like i can (and do) just buy the same poo poo at the store, wanted something that was healthy and ready-made meals for when were exhausted and just end up eating out but wasnt getting the right combination of search words. definitely gonna try it (assuming they deliver here)

Achmed Jones posted:i weighed myself at 189.1 today. I'm 6'1" so that puts my BMI at 24.9, which is no longer "overweight." Nice! Fyi the bmi isn't like a gold standard, depending on your muscle mass it can be hilariously off. did 9 miles and 1200 ft of elevation running yesterday, feeling surprisingly good doing it.

LanceHunter posted:Managed a new best on my 1 mile run today... 10:59. i just finished a half marathon a couple weeks ago and my advice is if your working on your first runs focus on distance and ignore speed up to your first 5k or 10k. once you can do a 5/10k you can start working on speed, some of which will come naturally with building up your cardiovascular system and hitting the long distances, and then others would ideally involve specific training, like fartleks, sprint workouts, hill climbs etc.

Achmed Jones posted:well i've been doing the same press for a couple weeks at this point cause i have trouble on the last reps of the last set with my left arm; i think my body weight has been pretty much static at 185. i've still been eating a deficit usually, but have been focusing more on getting enough protein, even if it means going over budget. id hoped that the newbie gains thing would counteract not actually eating a calorie surplus, but maybe not try doing lower weight at higher reps to break the plateau
